clovers

I just read Lisa's comment on the post I had sent. I expect they did get lost someway, as the other blocks from her mother arrived some time ago. Please don't feel bad about it Lisa, these things happen and are out of our control. If you wish to remake them, that would be alright. I will still watch out for the first ones - you never know. The government has now stepped in regarding the postal strike, so that should no longer be a concern. If I end up with two sets from you Lisa I can return one of them. Coralie from Canada

Final Clover Blocks arrived!

Sorry to be late in posting this, but I got my last outstanding blocks from Sophie on Monday - so now I have no excuse for not doing something with them (too bad - I was enjoying having a good excuse to keep most of them lying around, lol).

PB Blocks received from New Zeland

Two packages arrived from New Zeland to Ohio today.  Thank you Laurina and Maree.  Beautiful blocks, ladies!

Clovers received

I have received a packet of two clovers from Sophie this morning. Thank you, nice blocks. Three blocks from Lisa in Oak Harbour WA have not arrived. They are the last yet to come.
I was away last weekend at a "Quilting in the Trees". It was our 25th anniversary there, and was three full days of various quilting related classes. I will post some pictures later when I get the last bits finished on the things that I worked on.
Thanks again for your blocks Sophie, and thank you for organizing each lotto every month.
Coralie from Canada.

Just home from an all day workshop and three great blocks and lots of little blocks on the mat from Maree in New Zealand, thank you so much.

My garden path

This looks more like my vision if the photo is rotated 90 degrees. This is a very tentative and incomplete first try at a layout of a portion of the stack blocks that I was lucky to win in January. Many of the stacks had floral motifs and/or little critters (dragonflies, etc), so it got me to thinking of a garden path, and I have a little collection of Kaffe Fassett prints, so I made snowball blocks of the big florals, with three paths surrounding the two "beds" of flowers. (please disregard the bare toes on the stool). I'll add a strip of white sashing at the bottom & top of each flower row, and maybe do a green leafy border around the whole thing (I have some Michael Miller green fern fabricd that might work. I welcome comments and thank all your contributions. I also have a few corners to add to the flowers.

June 3 patch

Here are my 9 for the June Lotto. I work on the "bright" side. These were fun, once I figured out that I needed one of each of the colors.

PB Blocks Received

This is better than my last birthday!  More gifts! Today there were three more "squishies" in my mailbox.

Julie from Oakland CA sent me a couple of extras! She thought they were a bit too small.  Not at all! I will be using them! And Ginny from NY sent me four! There is a great variety of fabric. Fantastic, fun, fabrics!  With one directional heart turquoise fabric that I just love! Ginny's from BC got here too. And with the postal strike I've heard about in Canada I'm surprised I've gotten them so quickly! Many lovely florals in Ginnys blocks.

Lucky, lucky me!

blocks on the wing to England

I just posted 2 pineapple blocks to Diana in Jolly England! My son is a violinist who plays with Janelle Monae and he will be at the Glastonbury outdoor festival on June 25. I wish I could pop over and see him.
On another postal note, the UPS has some new Love forever stamps and the sheet looks like a beautiful appliqued floral quilt, with a few turteldove pairs in the mix. Nice design.

My first envelope containing three blocks arrived today from Coralie in Canada. Thank you so much they are waiting for the rest of my "prize" so I can make them into a quilt.

Pineapple Blocks mailed to Shelley

Just returned from the P.O.! Have fun with them!

I am in love...

I left for a long weekend of camping last week. My dear, dear husband brought all the mail along with him when he came later. So all the new blocks were camping with me too....

One of the first things I did this morning was take a picture, I love these blocks. I feel so lucky & happy to be one of the winners of these! The blocks came from:
Barbara FL, Cyndi CA, Kathy OH, Rho TX, Sophie TX & Tina RI.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
